-- SCORE --
Objects in the game give you points for destroying or collecting them, except
for space stations. To get points for destroying a space station you'll
need to collect the power up which was left behind after its destruction.
Bonus points are awarded at the end of the game based on your overall performance.
-- CLOAKING --
When you cloak, your power will start to drain quickly. When your power runs out,
you will uncloak.
-- SPACE STATIONS --
The game increases in level based on the level of the space stations that you destroy.
But be warned, each station that reappears is significantly stronger then the last,
and produces tougher enemies.
